Does a 16yr old need a lawyer to request change in custody between parents?
If you live in the US... The minor cannot do that. The non-custodial parent would have to file a petition with the court (they can do it without an attorney, but personally, I wouldn't). The court will consider the minor's wishes when making the ruling, but they are not required to abide by the minor's wishes. It's just one factor of many that they consider.
At what age can a minor in Texas make the decision to live with Mom or Dad?
The court makes the determination, not the minor. The court will usually consider the minor's opinion on the matter as one of the many factors they weigh before issuing the ruling, but it's certainly not the only one and probably not the most important one (if you're 17 and 9 months, then they'll probably figure they might as well let you live where you want for the three months they get to dictate; but if you're, say, 12, then it's a lot less relevant). The rule of thumb nationally is that it's around 12 when the court starts considering a minor's wishes as a serious factor. But, as I said, the minor never gets to dictate the ruling, not even at 17 years and 364 days, if the judge feels strongly enough that the minor's decision is not in his or her best interest.
